- —Baby Fat, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, a pudgy Baby Yoshi, named Baby Fat,[1] appears as an inhabitant of Yo'ster Isle that hatches after Mario defeats Bundt in Marrymore. Being a baby, his voice is higher than the older Yoshis. If Mario has Yoshi Cookies, he can feed Baby Fat with them. After Mario feeds him 30 Yoshi Cookies in total, he will become fat and exit the nest which is hinted at by another Yoshi. His voice becomes deeper, but not as deep as Boshi's voice. By continuing to feed him more cookies at the same time, he may give Mario various items by hatching them out from eggs.
History
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Baby Fat first appears as a Yoshi Egg in a nest in-between two Yoshi Houses. After defeating Bundt, he hatches as a small Baby Yoshi. If the player interacts with Baby Fat, Yoshi will ask Mario if he wants to give some cookies to him. If Mario chooses Yes, he will be asked how many cookies he wishes to give him. A Yoshi on the island hints that if Mario feeds the Baby Yoshi enough cookies, he'll become too fat and have to leave the nest. This will happen after Mario has given him 30 Yoshi Cookies. After leaving the nest, Mario can continue to feed him cookies for a chance at an item. If fed an insufficient quantity of cookies, Baby Fat will complain that Mario hasn't fed them very many. If fed 10-20 cookies, Baby Fat will lay an egg containing an item inside. The items that can hatch from the eggs laid by the Baby Yoshi are Bracers, Energizers, Yoshi-Ades, Yoshi Candies, Frog Coins, and Red Essences. Any quantity of cookies fed to him above 20 will not give a better chance at an item or guarantee drops of items other than those listed previously.
Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)
Baby Fat reappears in the Switch remake of Super Mario RPG, retaining the role they had in the original.

He’ll keep chomping on all the cookies you give him, and when he’s full, you’ll receive some very interesting new items... Chow down, fat boy!"[1]
